The common prachcc among the In.
dams of concealing even tho strongest
feelings by a show of Indifference IS
familiar to all readers This trait of
their character appears IN 4 strong light
IN this anecdote, which is told of n squav
who had Just bcen 5creaycd of her hus-
band He had brought her down TO the
coast of Ilalirader from far In the IN
terror; and the change IN climate had
shortly proved fatal to the husband. The
incident is told by aiiatfSs trapper, and
shows genuine human feeling:
We'll, sir, two days after that poor.
fellow was buried was away in the
woods on the other side of the hay. I
walked to the beach and saw a canoe
lying there. knew it belonged TO Aps
plc,musl1is wife, SO I went into tho woods
and listened. blinking / heard her
coming through the bush. crept near
to look. She was sitting crouchcd up ON
, fallen tree; her head was bent down 10
her knees.
s.Sshe was crying out some words in
Nasqnapee, which. though Very ike

At last caught her saying several times:

knew then what she was sobbing about
and crept hack 70 the beach.
''SEhci1 got there fired OF my gun.
IN two minutes the squaw came from the
woods. Chewing bit of gum, but to
look at her you wouldn't have thought
she'd n care on her mind. glanced at
her to make sure, and save wllero she
had brushed of her tears; but she
chewed away at her bit of gum as if
nothing was the matter with her. -

1IeissonIer,s 1,ance of vision.

Apropos of pictures am reminded of
what Alexander Dumas, 'fils," recently
said of the way in which Meissonier
paints by way of accounting for his use
of such circumscribed canvases.
sAIeissonier is not exactly near sight
ed" says Dumas, "but his range of
vision is limited. BY curious idiosyn-
cracy of his visional organs he is unable
to take in more than very limited ex-
tent of space at a single glance. Thus.
where other people see by the square
metre, this wonderful artist can only
see by the square 'centimetres' His can
vases must therefore be made on a scale
that viii enable him to see them in their
entirety and the proper proportions of his
work thus be preserved.
"If he should attempt to paint can
vas, say eight feet by six, it would be
quite impossible for him TO form a true
idea of the mathematical relations borne
by the edges of the picture to the center,
seeing that he could not take in the whole
at one coup d'oeil.
''Thus he recently painted my portrait
about half the size of life. This was a
prodigious effort, a real tour de force, {
in which he was compelled to take in
gigantic proportions, as if an ordinary
artist should attempt to draw the Colossus
of Rhodes at full length. New York

The possible charm of white stones,
chippel and carved in lulicrous conven-
tionalitics, is wholly fancy. Weeping
willows, placed to suggest tears and dis
consolation, are far from tender memo-
rials. Evergreens cut into the form of
cones arc equally distasteful.
The cemetery is resort of idlers and

on monuments is money absolutely
wasted. There is something to me re-

From time immemorial the inhabitants
of the Celestial empire have used tllc gizs
zarl of chickens and ducks in nearly all
made dishes. Tho writer's have rccom-
mentled the practice as sovereign treat
ment of dyspepsia, weak stomach and
vomiting. a favorite prescription of
Chinese physicians for chronic indigestion
is to cut up and digest chicken gizzartl,
in hot water until they are reduced to a
pulp, and then add some spices. a table
spoonful or two of tho resulting paste is
taken at each meal until tho patient has
entirely recovered. From China the
practice passed to other parts of Asia, and
was adopted here and there among the
Mediterranean people. Strange to say It
was never learned by the great nations of
Europe until the latter part of the present
century. Analyst

In the course of the last few years the
disease which the doctors call morphio-
mania has made formidable headway all
over Franco. IN the capital its victims
almost rival those of alcoholism. AT
Bellevue great hospital has been opened
for the care, and, if possible, for the cure
of these patients. Here at least all the
symptoms of the disease may be studied.
and curious statistics of its course and of
the character of its victims have been col
lccted The disease in Its present form
is necessarily but of recent origin. Nor
phia itself was only discovered in the year
1916. The euro of it is very rare. 1t is
found that both the use and deprivation
of the drug lead the victims almost in
variably tn suicide. and at Bellevue there
arc cushioned rooms for some of the pa
tients, and Il constant watch kept ON all.
One is not surprised to hear that the chief
sufferers arc women. After women come

How to ,Preserve tsf6trsr..

A French Journal SAYS that flowers may
be preserved with all their natural bril-
liancy and freshness by dipping them into
mixture made as follows: In well
corked bottle dissolve six drachms of
coarsely powdered clear gum copal. add
the same quantity of broken glass, and
fifteen and a half ounces tby weight of
pure rcctiiied sulpluric ether. The flow
ers should be dipped into this yarnisli-like
fluid four or five times, allowing them to
remain in current of air for ten minutes
between each immersion. This plan, If
it docs not interfere with the delicate tex
